Hi,

I just had surgery January 9,2011. I am on a roller coster of pain. Not sure if it is gas or just did too much the day before. I ve lost 6 pounds since surgery date. I had to bring my son to the doctors and just had to jump on the scale too. I am on liquids and I am finding it very hard to do this. Right now its a day by day adventure.

Congratulations, I just had my surgery 5 days ago and I am down 13 pounds the only thing that is giving me problems is sleeping at night, it's like I am tired all day long but once I lay down I can't fall asleep

Good luck, I am waiting on mine...........you will have to let me know how you are doing. I am from the western part of Ky. I wish you good luck!!! I have had laproscopic surgery before, but, evidently, this surgery is worse than gallbladder surgery?? I am getting nervous.........

Congratulations melnel25! I am so happy to hear that you made the commitment to pursue the surgery. I am also pleased to learn that you haven't had any bad experiences.

If you stick to what your surgeon tells you, you will be fine!

WOW! this will be a fascinating and very interesting process to follow! Please continue to update us on how it goes, or consider keeping a blog here about it. I'm sure people considering this surgery would love to read through your experience with it..



Hope all is going well so far!
